<dir><i>Comment</i> A string representing a comment that is normally ignored
by the file reading application</dir>
<font face="Arial Black"><font size=-1>Details</font></font> 
<dir>Some WHIP! data users can directly investigate WHIP! data using a simple 
  text editor. The WHIP! data writing application can add comments for such users that 
  are otherwise ignored by WHIP! data reading applications. The Comment[s] opcode provides 
  this ability: 
  <dir> 
    <pre><font face="Courier New">(Comment 'To Do: Please see Fred before making changes to this drawing.')
(Comments 'This WHIP! data reflects the floor plan as of the August 14th meeting.')</font></pre>
  </dir>
  <font face="Arial Black"><font size=-1>Notes</font></font> 
  <dir>WHIP! data reading applications typically show the Comments opcode. A WHIP! data reading application 
    can provide an option to the user to view the comments contained in the Comment opcode.</dir>
